Functional anomaly of the kidney persisting for at least three months.

Short (hypoplastic) phalanx of finger, affecting one or more phalanges.

Sclerosis (hardening) of the arteries with increased thickness of the wall of arteries as well as increased stiffness and a loss of elasticity.

The presence of chronic increased pressure in the systemic arterial system.

Necrosis of the myocardium caused by an obstruction of the blood supply to the heart and often associated with chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, and anxiety as well as characteristic EKG findings and elevation of serum markers including creatine kinase-MB fraction and troponin.

Calcification, that is, pathological deposition of calcium salts in the aorta.

A height below that which is expected according to age and gender norms. Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms).

An ulcer, that is, an erosion of an area of the gastric mucous membrane.

A reduction in erythrocytes volume or hemoglobin concentration.

Congenital dysplasia of the hip (CDH) is an abnormality of the seating of the femoral head in the acetabulum. Its severity ranges from mild instability of the femoral head with slight capsular laxity, through moderate lateral displacement of the femoral head, without loss of contact of the head with the acetabulum, up to complete dislocation of the femoral head from the acetabulum. It is one of the most common skeletal congenital anomalies (summary by Sollazzo et al., 2000). Acetabular dysplasia is an idiopathic, localized developmental dysplasia of the hip that is characterized by a shallow hip socket and decreased coverage of the femoral head. Its radiologic criteria include the center-edge angle of Wiberg, the Sharp angle, and the acetabular roof obliquity. Most patients with acetabular dysplasia develop osteoarthritis (165720) after midlife, and even mild acetabular dysplasia can cause hip osteoarthritis (summary by Mabuchi et al., 2006). CDH occurs as an isolated anomaly or with more general disorders represented by several syndromes and with chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomy 18 (Wynne-Davies, 1970). Genetic Heterogeneity of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Developmental dysplasia of the hip-1 (DDH1) maps to chromosome 13q22; DDH2 (615612) maps to chromosome 3p21. DDH3 (620690) is caused by mutation in the LRP1 gene (107770) on chromosome 12q13.

An induration (hardening) of the skin

Passing the age when puberty normally occurs with no physical or hormonal signs of the onset of puberty.

The presence of an increased number of twists and turns of retinal blood vessels (arteries, arterioles, veins, venules).

Microscopic aneurysms of the retinal arterioles near the central part of the fundus, visible as small round dark red dots on the retinal surface (not arising from visible vessels) that are by definition less than the diameter of the major optic veins as they cross the optic disc.
